Simple for admins
Deploying Dashlane to your entire company and integrating it with your existing set of IT tools is simple with functionality such as:
- The ability to integrate with any SAML 2.0 single sign-on provider, such as Okta, Active Directory, Azure AD, G Suite, and Duo
- The ability to sync individuals and groups with your company directory so you never have to manually manage groups or grant and revoke employee licenses
- Group password sharing so new hires can start their first day with access to everything they need
- Account Recovery, so employees who forget their Master Password don’t end up permanently locked out of their accounts
Perks for employees
After adopting Dashlane, employees get Smart Spaces functionality that keeps business and personal items separate. Team and Business plan users also get access to a VPN for work or personal devices, and Business plan users get a free Friends & Family plan, so they can give up to nine others free Dashlane Premium accounts.
Robust support
For help with adoption, Dashlane offers extensive live and on-demand resources, including free live product information sessions for employees and admins, a Resource Library, and a Help Center for both employees and admins.
Additionally, all Dashlane customers have access to 24/7 email support and live chat support, and Business plan users have access to phone support every weekday. Businesses with more than 50 seats on their plan can access technical onboarding support and a dedicated customer success representative.
Real-world security
Comprehensive insights
Dashlane has patented security architecture, and the Admin Console provides actionable insights and useful company-level controls. Admins can view their company’s Password Health score and at-risk passwords from their dashboard view, and they can gather granular, employee-level insights from their Activity Log and Users tabs. Admins can also set policies around 2FA, employee offboarding, Smart Spaces, autofill, Account Recovery, and more.
Dark web monitoring
Dashlane’s Dark Web Monitoring tool monitors the dark web for up to five email addresses and sends notifications if those email addresses are associated with any known data breach. Unlike other Dark Web Monitoring tools offered, Dashlane searches for email addresses, not hashed passwords already stored in a user’s vault.
The first step to selecting the right password manager is understanding what criteria to use for evaluating your options. The best solution should offer more than the ability to manage passwords securely—it should offer a robust set of features that can help you improve your overall company security.
